Recipe Comparison

The same photographs, developed by the camera's own processor in every recipe — not a preset approximation. Pick two recipes, drag the divider, and see exactly what each setting does.

Same photo, two recipes — drag the divider, or focus it and use ← →.

Ocean Sunset — photographed by Kasper K

The gallery is just getting started.

One reference scene so far, each developed in-camera across the full recipe catalog — and we're still testing the pipeline. Contribute a photograph and every comparison ever made with it carries your name and your link, like the credit above.

How this works

A photographer submits a RAW file. We connect a real Fujifilm camera over USB and have its processor develop that one file in every recipe in the catalog — the same in-camera engine that develops your photos when you shoot. Each render's settings are verified from the camera's own metadata before it's published.

Is this really the camera, or a software simulation?

Really the camera. Every image here is a JPEG developed by a Fujifilm camera's own processor — we send the photographer's RAW file to the camera over USB with a recipe's settings, and the camera develops it exactly as if it had been shot that way. No Lightroom, no presets, no emulation.

Is it the same photo in every recipe?

Yes. Each scene is one single RAW file, developed once per recipe. Everything that changes between two renders is the recipe — same light, same moment, same exposure.

How do you know a render actually matches the recipe?

Every developed JPEG carries the camera's own record of the settings used, written into its metadata. We read that back and verify it against the recipe before a render enters the gallery.

Why is a recipe missing on some scenes?

Physics, mostly. DR400 recipes need the shot to be taken at ISO 500 or higher, DR200 at ISO 320+ — below that the camera refuses. A few recipes also use settings the USB conversion can't reproduce (like toned black-and-whites); those wait rather than render wrong.

Two recipes look almost identical — is something broken?

No — some recipes genuinely differ by a single subtle setting. Check the "What's different" table under the viewer: if only Color Chrome or a half-stop of shadow separates them, the images should be close. That's the point of comparing.

Where do the photos come from?

From photographers in the community, who submit a RAW file and are credited by name — with their link — on every comparison made with it. You can contribute one too.

Who made these recipes?

Recipe creators across the Fujifilm community — every recipe in the catalog is credited and linked to its original source, and the catalog is curated to the community's hundred most popular.
